An Act of Treason

A Sniper Novel

De: Jack Coughlin, Donald A. Davis

Narrado por: Luke Daniels

In the fourth novel in the New York Times bestselling series, Marine sniper Kyle Swanson finds himself in the sights of a man he once idolized—a true American hero turned traitor

Swanson and his beautiful girlfriend, CIA agent Lauren Carson, are on a mission in Pakistan when their world is turned inside out. Kyle is captured and thrown in prison. Lauren is accused of being a double agent. The one person they trust to help is the man who sent them on the black operation—Jim Hall, a legendary CIA agent, Kyle's sniper mentor, and Lauren's boss and former lover.

But Hall has gone rogue. He is selling America's innermost secrets to a ruthless Pakistani warlord who wants to mold al- Qaeda into a legitimate political party, and secure a nuclear arsenal. For Jim Hall, his former protégé Swanson is the final obstacle.

Success or failure pivots on whether Swanson can stop the old friend who trained him to be a shooter. From the streets of Washington to the Bavarian Alps, the two snipers stalk each other in a deadly hunt that has only one possible outcome.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Intricate, well-crafted…Coughlin vividly [portays] the ethos of combat soldiers.''” —Publishers Weekly

“The cat-and-mouse game that ensues between the two adversaries will have readers frantically turning pages. Series fans will enjoy the roller-coaster ride, and military-fiction buffs new to the series will find this episode a great place to start.” —Booklist

“The pages fly by as Swanson must face his most personal mission yet. The military tactics take a backseat to the characters, creating a strong and compelling narrative. Coughlin and Davis have concocted another winner that should only encourage a growing readership.” —Booklist on "Clean Kill: A Sniper Novel"

“Former Marine Coughlin and bestseller Davis combine a well-paced, credible plot with a realistic portrayal of modern combat…The climax…will leave readers cheering.” —Publishers Weekly on "Clean Kill: A Sniper Novel"

“Compelling.” —Publishers Weekly on "Dead Shot: A Sniper Novel"

“The [plot] propels the pages forward, but this one isn't all about action: Swanson proves a surprisingly complex character...Dead Shot suggest[s] a hardware-heavy story that only an armed- services veteran could love. Surprisingly, it's completely the opposite. Readers will be compelled...and will look forward to another Swanson adventure.” —Booklist on "Dead Shot: A Sniper Novel"

“Stunning action, excellent tradecraft, insider politics, and the ring of truth. Just about perfect.” —Lee Child on "Kill Zone: A Sniper Novel"

“Tight, suspenseful…Here's hoping this is the first of many Swanson novels.” —Booklist on "Kill Zone: A Sniper Novel"

“A renowned sniper, Coughlin recounts battlefield action with considerable energy.” —The Washington Post on "Kill Zone: A Sniper Novel"

“The action reaches a furious pitch.” —Publishers Weekly on "Kill Zone: A Sniper Novel"

“One of the best snipers in the Marine Corps, perhaps the very best. When I asked one of his commanders about his skills, the commander smiled and said, ‘I'm just glad he's on our side.'” —Peter Maass, war-correspondent and bestselling author of Love Thy Neighbor on "Shooter"

“The combat narratives here recount battlefield action with considerable energy . . . A renowned sniper, Coughlin is less concerned with his tally than with the human values of comradeship and love.” —The Washington Post on "Shooter"

“Coughlin is a sniper, perhaps one of the most respected and feared in the Corps, and his memoir, Shooter, offers a uniquely intimate look into the life of one trained to live in the shadows . . . some of the most poignant action ever recorded in a modern Marine memoir.” —Seapower on "Shooter"

Another great book in the series

All the action and details you come to expect from this series. Excellent narration. Time to move onto the next one!

Once again better than the last.

Storytelling continues to improve. I thought I had chosen a weak series after the first book. Glad I stuck with it.

Terrific, simply terrific!!

An Act of Treason is my first Jack Coughlin novel, bur it certainly will not be my last. Everyone who has an appreciation for great thrillers should read this book.

Great Series, Great Characters, Well Written

First, the story line teaser from the jacket isn't accurate, but then what else is new? As with the previous novels in this series we see the unflappable Swanson always thinking moves ahead, he is a talented survivor. There are interesting twists, surprises and the characters aren't cliche. The pace is fast making it difficult to stop listening because you want to hear what happens next. Totally enjoyable action series with good story lines and characters. Luke Daniels does a wonderful job narrating.

Best story in the series...so for!

Probably my favorite and the best Kyle Swanson story to date... great story, excellent performance and tons of action. Loved this book!
